Peace In the Middle East: Can Mr. Obama Really Do It? 2/2

Judging from the recent visits by George Mitchell to and from the Middle East and the visits of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister and his Foreign Minister – the ultra extremist Zionist Avigdor Lieberman to Washington clearly indicate that the Israelis have no intention or desire to enter into any peace settlement whatsoever in the Middle East. They insist on fulfilling the Zionist agenda of expanding the Hebrew state from the Nile to the Euphrates, and no peace initiative is going to stop that, even if Barack Obama insists that the Israelis must sit down and "negotiate" a settlements with the Palestinians and eventually the rest of the Arab States, who have not signed on the dotted line for a peace agreement with the Israelis.
We are not sure how Obama exactly is going to come to terms with an ally, who insists that peace must be a word thrown in the air to see who can catch it time and again, without any chance of having that peace settle down and become a fact of life in the region. If Israel had wanted peace, it would realize that it cannot lie to itself and the rest of the world that it must have peace on its terms, which means that Israel can continue to steal Palestinian land and destroy Palestinian property, including all that sits atop that property, such as a humble dwelling or olive or orange trees that provide a meager livelihood for their owners, since the Israeli occupier is preventing the produce from getting to market in due time, before half of it has rotted. Israel insists on becoming the sole owner of the Holy Land and insists on turning the entire Holy Land area as solely Jewish haven with full control of all the religious holy sites of 3 Billion people (Moslems, Christians and Jews). Why are the Israelis reluctant to enter into any meaningful talks leading to a real peace? Because Israel cannot survive on peace. Peace means that Israel will not be able to embezzle Europe in compensation for the crimes of Adolf Hitler and will not be able to squeeze out US $ 10 Million Dollars a day (according to Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States) from the United States to insure the "security of the Jewish State" against its "hostile" neighbors.
The observer is aware that George W. Bush had left an awful mess in the region and start talking peace more seriously while translating this desire for peace on the ground: Israel must stop building settlements in territories it illegally occupies in the first place; Israel must withdraw from all the occupied territories in the West Bank; Israel must show real genuine respect for the dignity and honor of the Palestinians and recognize that they have been at the short end of the stick ever since the illegitimate state of Israel was "declared independent"; Israel must remove all barriers that prevent the Palestinians from getting their provisions and their goods from reaching their required destinations inside and outside of Palestine as the case may be; Israel must cease its belligerency and recognize that the people of the Middle Ears region have just as much a right to peace and tranquility without fear of any imminent attack from the trigger happy Israeli Offense Forces, whenever the Israelis feel that it is time to put on a display of their lethal capacity and maintain the aura of dearth and destruction, as proof of their ability to safeguard their illegal presence; Israel must compensate the victims of its initial and subsequent aggression and recognize that their right of return is endorsed by the International Community and all the international conventions and agreements dealing with displaced persons; and finally Israel must recognize that the American people are not in a position anymore to dole out tens of billions of dollars to a spoiled country that does not opt for peace with its neighbors; Israel must stop and works diligently to prevent any such peace from coming to the surface, so that it can create new realities on the ground that foster further expansion of its domination of the Holy Land from the Nile to the Euphrates; Israel must tear down the ugly and mischievous "security" wall, which have for all intents and purposes forced the West Bank Palestinians into pockets of prisons and almost distorted any chance of forming a viable state in the West Bank and Gaza; Israel must release the thousands of Palestinians prisoners it is holding, most of whom were arrested without due process and due cause.

On the Kidnapping and Murder of the Hostages
One thing that is clear from all that has been said about this most tragic of events in the history of Yemen is that the Government has not handled the tragedy well. From the start, the Government seemed to be treating the Sa'ada kidnapping as merely "games people play" and expects the tragedy to legitimize its obvious desire to end the Houthi insurrection once and for all. The fact is that the Government will not be able to end the Houthis and will not be to prevent the people of Sa'ada from worshipping the Lord as they see fit.
